Situation Medlands Farm is situated on the outskirts of popular Shere village, renowned as one of Surrey s most picturesque villages. The Tillingbourne River passes through the village centre where there are many pretty period cottages, good local shops, two pubs and a fine Norman church. Guildford, with its historic cobbled High Street and excellent shops, restaurants and bars is only five miles away and the main line station provides a fast service to Waterloo in 38 minutes. Dorking is about six miles to the east, again offering a picturesque High Street and comprehensive shopping facilities. There is direct access from the fields to a bridleway leading up to Netley Heath, the North Downs Way and Ranmore Common, all providing extensive horse riding and walking countryside.
Description Medlands Farm was thought to date back to the 18th Century, but recent local information suggests that the barn may be considerably older. Originally part of the Bray Estate, this classic period barn was skillfully converted into a magnificent family home about ten years ago. Typical of the building s age, the interior is full of character with extensive exposed timbering and vaulted ceilings. The complete refurbishment has included the provision of two oak staircases and stunning galleried landings overlooking the living areas. A high degree of thermal insulation was used during the refurbishment which has also encompassed high quality and state of the art features including under floor heating, oak and slate flooring, air conditioning, computer controlled Lutron lighting and Cat 5 cabling. The Accommodation An oak framed porch and oak front door lead to the hall which has a polished slate floor, off which is the cloakroom and utility room. An inner hall with oak floor and six pairs of double doors to the courtyard provides access to the study and the magnificent open plan reception room with vaulted ceiling and gallery and four pairs of double doors to the courtyard. There is a dining room and open plan kitchen with contemporary style units. From the reception room an oak staircase leads to the gallery with access to the principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and a second bedroom suite. From the main reception hall a further inner hall with three sets of double doors to the courtyard, leads to two ground floor bedrooms and a bathroom. Above this and approached via a second oak staircase is a further large bedroom suite. There are lovely views over the fields and paddocks from all the rooms.
Outside A security five bar gate and shingle driveway lead to a large visitor s parking area. Further five bar and pedestrian gates from here lead to the Stable Yard with 5 Harlow Loose Boxes, two further Loose Boxes and 2 Hay Stores.

Double Garage Former Granary Olympic size Manege with rubber base The Garden On the sunny west side of the barn there is a formal courtyard garden with central pond. There is a large shingle and cobbled terrace with weeping trees and a herb garden, all enclosed by a Bargate stone wall and beech hedging. The rest of the garden is situated to the east and south and comprises areas of lawn, designed for ease of maintenance. The land is situated to the north and east of the barn and there is a large expanse of well tended pastureland arranged as a series of post and rail paddocks. Beyond the paddocks is an area of mature woodland forming the northern boundary of the property. In all approximately 37 acres.
